River Rivière de la Gadelle (Quebec) — a popular fishing spot. About 4 km long. Flows into Rivière Desmeules, estuary basin of the Saint Lawrence River. Nearest town — Sept-Îles. This page shows an hourly bite forecast for today and the week ahead; the algorithm factors in the weather, atmospheric pressure, and the moon phase.
Cloudy: 6–11 °C
The bite is strong — fish are active. Weather is steady, with no sharp swings — fish behave predictably.
Best time — 06:00–08:00 (dawn bite) and 19:00–21:00 (dusk bite).
Work the cover — snags, weed edges, hole entrances; retrieve the lure with pauses.
In clear water, natural colors work best: spoon or large fly.
Pack transitional-season clothing — mornings and evenings are chilly.
Worth going — it's a productive day.
The computed water temperature is around 9 °C — inside the 1–10 °C comfort range for Arctic char, so baseline activity is high.
Arctic char works the twilight: the peaks are pinned to sunrise and sunset — their times are in the sun-and-moon card above.
Pressure is dropping 2 hPa over the day — fish are usually more active ahead of a weather change.
One more input — the moon's feeding windows: within their hours the score sits higher than across the rest of the day. The window times are in the “Solunar feeding periods” card below.
September is peak season for Arctic char here.
These are the same values the bite curve above was computed from. How the forecast works
Cloudy · feels like +6°
The day is 4 min shorter than yesterday.
Sunshine hours count direct sun only — cloud cover cuts it, so it is shorter than daylight.
The windows are set by the moon's transit and rise, and the forecast above already accounts for them: within these hours the bite score sits higher than across the rest of the day, while the day's overall level still comes from the catch-calibrated model.
